Metro Detroit's Trusted
Tent & Event Rental

It's simple and there's no obligation to commit right away. Here's how it works:

1. Build your wishlist — browse our inventory and add the items you need. It takes about 5 minutes.
2. Submit your wishlist — your date and equipment are tentatively held while we review your request.
3. We review your order — Adam personally reviews every wishlist. If everything looks good, a formal quote will be sent through the system within 24 hours on weekdays. If there are any questions or we need more details, Adam will give you a call directly.
4. Review your quote — take your time looking it over. We're happy to make adjustments.
5. Lock in your date — a 50% deposit and signed rental agreement officially reserves your date. Until then, your date remains tentatively held.

Have questions before or after submitting your wishlist? You can always reach out by phone or email — we're happy to help at any stage. Call or text (248) 216-7089 or email info@aetentandevent.com.

Planning an event can be overwhelming — especially if you've never rented a tent before. Don't worry about having it all figured out before you reach out. Adam is happy to walk you through everything: tent size based on your guest count, table and chair setup, lighting, accessories, and anything else that would make your event run smoothly. Just give us a call or send a message and we'll take it from there.

We do our best to accommodate last-minute requests and same-day bookings depending on availability. Additional fees may apply. Don't hesitate to reach out — if we can make it happen, we will.

We offer high-peak frame tents — commercial-grade, pole-free inside, and available in 20x20, 20x30, 20x40, and 20x60 sizes. Our tents can be installed on grass, pavement, or driveways, giving you flexibility for just about any venue.

A good rule of thumb is to allow about 8–10 square feet per guest for a comfortable setup with tables and chairs. Our standard sizes include:

• 20x20 — up to 48 guests
• 20x30 — up to 72 guests
• 20x40 — up to 96 guests
• Larger 30- and 40-wide frame and pole tents available for bigger events

Not sure what fits your space and guest count? Reach out — Adam will walk you through it based on your yard, headcount, and event layout.

All rental pricing includes professional installation and teardown by our crew. Delivery is quoted separately based on distance from our staging location in Sterling Heights and appears as its own line item on your quote. Our tent packages bundle your tent, tables, and white folding chairs. Add-ons like sidewalls, linens, lighting, cocktail tables, and flooring are available for any package.

Yes. Our frame tents are freestanding and can be set up on any flat surface — grass, concrete, asphalt, or a driveway. There may be an additional charge for pavement setups that require alternative anchoring.

Yes to both, with some important safety guidelines.

Cooling — fans work great under our tents to keep air moving. If you're looking for fan rentals, reach out and we can point you in the right direction.

Heating — tent-safe heaters are available for cooler weather events. Please note that patio heaters, Mr. Buddy heaters, salamander heaters, and any open flame heaters are strictly prohibited under our tents. If you're interested in heating options, reach out and we'll help you find the right solution.

Yes — all of our tents are fire rated and meet standard safety requirements. If you need documentation for a venue, HOA, or permit application, reach out and we'll get you what you need.

Yes — our minimum order for delivery is $200. Orders that fall below this minimum may be subject to a small surcharge. Customer pickup is available for smaller orders — see our pickup policy below for details.

Yes. A 50% deposit along with a signed rental agreement is required to officially reserve your date. Until the deposit is received, your date remains tentatively held.

As early as possible — especially for summer weekends. Graduation season in Oakland and Macomb County books fast, and our most popular tent sizes fill up quickly. We recommend reserving your date at least 2–3 months in advance. If your event is coming up soon, reach out anyway — we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Yes. Items can be added to your order up to 2 weeks before your event without any issue, prior to your final payment being due. If you need to add something the week of your event or last minute, reach out as soon as possible and we'll do our best to accommodate. We can't always guarantee availability on short notice, but we'll always try.

Date changes are possible but we can't guarantee your new date will have the same equipment available, as it may already be reserved. Please reach out as soon as you know you need to change your date — the sooner the better. Refer to our terms and conditions for the applicable fee schedule for date changes.

Cancellations made more than 90 days before the event receive a full refund minus the deposit already paid. Cancellations within 90 days but more than 30 75% of the balance is due including the deposit already paid. 30 days or less require payment of the full balance, but a rain check may be issued for use within one year.

Yes — our tent packages are built around the most common events we serve: grad parties, backyard events, small weddings, and milestone celebrations. Each package includes your tent, banquet tables, and white folding chairs sized for your guest count, with full install and teardown. Our 96-Guest Jumbo Package (20x60 tent) scales up to 150 guests for cocktail-style or mingling events. See the Tent Packages page for full details and pricing.

Yes — delivery is calculated per job based on distance from our staging location in Sterling Heights. Your exact delivery fee will appear on your quote. Customer pickup is available for smaller orders — see our pickup policy for details.

Yes — customer pickup is available for smaller tents, tables, chairs, and accessories. Here's what to keep in mind if you're picking up:

• You load — customers are responsible for loading all equipment at pickup.
• Right size vehicle — you are responsible for providing a vehicle large enough to safely transport your rental items. We're happy to help you figure out what size vehicle you'll need before you arrive.
• Proper strapping — all equipment must be properly secured for transport. Please bring appropriate tie-downs and straps.
• We may assist — we may assist with loading as a courtesy, but this cannot be guaranteed.
• Damage waiver required — a damage waiver is charged on all customer pickups.

Not sure if your vehicle is the right size? Give us a call before pickup day and we'll make sure you're set up to transport everything safely.

Yes. For graduation parties and backyard events, our standard rental already includes setup the day before your event and teardown the day after — so you're not paying extra for that time. Setup and teardown can occur anywhere from 1–3 days before or after your event depending on weather and scheduling. If you need the tent in place by a specific date or time, make sure to note that in your wishlist when you submit your request.

Setup typically happens 1–3 days before your event, and pickup occurs the day after. Specific timeframes may incur an additional cost, and all setup is weather-dependent. If you need the tent by a specific date, please note that in your wishlist notes.

Please mow your lawn at least 24 hours before setup day and remove any pet waste from the area. Avoid cutting grass after the tent is installed as it can damage the equipment.

Yes — there are two steps to make sure your yard is ready before we arrive:

Miss Dig 811 — you'll need to call Miss Dig 811 the week of your event to have underground public utility lines marked. If lines aren't marked, we can't stake the tent.

Private utilities — Miss Dig does not cover private utilities. Before setup day, please locate and mark any private underground lines on your property including sprinkler systems, wiring to outdoor lighting or equipment, and any piping or electrical running to outbuildings, sheds, or garages.

If staking isn't possible, alternative anchoring methods are available at an additional charge. Not sure what you have underground? It's always better to call us before the event so we can work through it together.

Every yard is different and slopes can affect how and where we install your tent. If you have concerns about your yard's grade, reach out and we'll schedule a site walk to assess the space before your event. It's always better to sort this out early so there are no surprises on setup day.

Safety is our top priority. We cannot set up in winds of 20 mph or higher, during thunderstorms, or when lightning is within a 5-mile radius. If severe weather prevents setup, we'll work with you to reschedule for the following day. If the event must be canceled due to weather, a rain check will be issued for use within one year. If winds reach 30 mph or higher during your event, the tent must be evacuated.

Equipment returned clean and undamaged won't incur any additional fees. For larger rentals or orders that include high-value or high-risk items, a damage waiver may be required. Damage waivers are also charged on all customer pickups. If you'd like peace of mind regardless of order size, a damage waiver can be added to any rental — just ask when reviewing your quote. If anything breaks during your rental, let us know right away — normal wear and tear is typically covered at no cost to you.

Some cities, townships, and HOAs require permits for tent installations, particularly for larger structures. We are happy to work with clients where permits are required and can handle the permit pulling process as part of our service. The cost of the permit will be passed on to the client along with a coordination and filing fee for our time. If you'd prefer to handle permitting yourself, we're happy to provide any necessary documentation, specifications, or information needed to complete your application. Either way, please let us know about any permitting requirements as early as possible so there are no delays before your event. When in doubt, check with your local municipality before booking.

Yes — we can provide a certificate of insurance upon request or when required by a venue, HOA, or municipality. Please let us know as soon as possible so we have time to get the paperwork in order before your event.

Yes — we offer two options depending on your event style and needs.

Fabric Linens — for a more elegant look, we offer fabric linens in a wide variety of colors and sizes for both banquet and round tables. Whether you're matching a color scheme for a graduation party or dressing up tables for a wedding or corporate event, we can source the right linen for your event. Reach out with your table count, sizes, and color preferences and we'll get you what you need.

Kwik Covers — our recommended option for backyard graduation parties and casual outdoor events. Kwik Covers are heavy-duty elastic fitted plastic table covers that snap snugly over your table like a fitted sheet. They come in a variety of colors and sizes for both banquet and round tables. Because they're waterproof, easy to wipe clean, and won't blow away in the wind, they're ideal for outdoor events. They can be reused or disposed of after the event — no washing or ironing required.

Not sure which option is right for your event? Give us a call and we'll help you decide.

Reach out — we can source a wide variety of items beyond what's listed. If we don't have it, we'll do our best to find it for you.

We offer three options depending on your event style and budget:

• Keep-It Linens — brand new polyester linens delivered in the bag, yours to keep after your event. No returns, no drop-offs. Available in black and white in lap and floor lengths for round and banquet tables.
• Colored & Specialty Keep-It Linens — same keep-it concept, available upon request in a wide range of colors and specialty styles. Contact us with your table count, sizes, and color preferences and we'll confirm availability and pricing.
• Premium Rental Linens — professionally laundered linens for weddings and upscale events. Delivered event-ready, collected at teardown. Available in an expanded selection of fabrics and styles.

Not sure which option is right for your event? Give us a call and we'll help you decide.

Keep-It Linens are brand new, packaged linens that are yours to keep after your event — think of it like buying a linen at the same price most companies charge to rent one. There's no return, no worrying about stains or damage charges, and no drop-off trip after your party.

Rental linens are professionally laundered and pressed, delivered event-ready, and collected by our crew at teardown. They're ideal for weddings and upscale events where a polished, coordinated look matters.

Lap length linens drop to approximately mid-thigh height on a seated guest — clean and casual. Floor length linens drop all the way to the ground — more formal and elegant. For most graduation parties and backyard events, lap length works great. For weddings and upscale events, floor length is the more common choice.

Our standard Keep-It Linens are available in black and white and are kept in stock. Colored and specialty linens are available upon request — reach out with your color preferences and we'll confirm availability and pricing for your event date.

Linens are priced separately as add-ons. This keeps your base package price clean and lets you choose exactly what you need. Select your linens when building your quote or reach out and we'll add them for you.

We stock the following sizes in black and white:

• 90" round — lap length for 60" round tables
• 120" round — floor length for 60" round tables
• 60x126 — lap length for 8ft banquet tables
• 90x132 — floor length for 8ft banquet tables

Need a different size, color, or style? Other sizes and specialty linens are available upon request — contact us and we'll confirm availability and pricing for your event.

Keep-It Linens arrive brand new in the bag. Like any packaged fabric, they may have light fold lines from packaging. The easy fix: toss them in the dryer on low heat for 15–20 minutes before your event and they'll come out smooth and event-ready. If your linens are being delivered a few days early, this is a great thing to knock out the day before your party.

Yes — since you own them, that's your call. That said, we always recommend placing candles inside a glass holder (votive, hurricane, or lantern) to protect the fabric and your table surface. Open flame directly on any fabric is a fire hazard regardless of ownership.

They're yours — wash them however you'd like! Standard polyester linens are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low. They hold up well and can be reused if you take care of them.

Our premium rental linens are available in a wide range of sizes, colors, and fabric styles to suit any event. From standard banquet and round table sizes to specialty fabrics like sequin, velvet, satin, and lace — there's a linen for every look. Contact us to discuss your event and we'll help you find the right fit.

Yes — every rental linen is professionally laundered and pressed before delivery. They arrive event-ready, so all you need to do is put them on the tables and make them look great.

We recommend unpacking 24 hours before your event to let any minor creases fall out naturally. If you need to touch them up, use a hand steamer on a low setting — avoid ironing directly on the fabric.

Indoors, off the floor, and somewhere climate-controlled — think spare bedroom, not garage. And don't leave them in the tent overnight. Michigan humidity can cause mildew faster than you'd think, and mildew from improper storage is not covered by the Damage Waiver.

It happens — don't panic. Blot (don't rub) with a clean cloth and let us handle the rest. Standard food and beverage stains are covered by your 10% Damage Waiver. Skip the salt and club soda — that old trick does more harm than good on rental linens.

Every rental linen order includes a 10% non-refundable Damage Waiver that covers everyday spills and stains from normal event use. What it doesn't cover: burns, candle wax, mildew, adhesives, missing items, or any DIY laundering. If the party caused it, you're probably covered. If neglect caused it, you're probably not.

Yes — but every candle must be inside a glass holder (votive, hurricane, lantern, etc.). Wax drips cause permanent damage and are not covered by the Damage Waiver. Candles and bare fabric are not a good combination.

Please don't. Adhesives and sharp objects can snag, tear, or permanently mark fabric. Use a protective barrier between any sharp décor and the linen surface.

Please don't — professional cleaning is already included in your rental fee. Washing, bleaching, dry-cleaning, or ironing rental linens can cause permanent damage and result in replacement charges. Just bag them up and let us take it from there.

Do not bag a wet linen — even slightly damp linens can develop mildew quickly in a sealed bag. If something gets soaked, drape it somewhere and let it fully air-dry before packing it up. Mildew damage is not covered by the Damage Waiver.

Linen installation is the client's responsibility unless other arrangements are made at booking. If you'd like us to handle installation, just let us know when booking and we'll make arrangements.

It depends on how you rented them:

• Tent package linens: our crew will collect them when we take the tent down — nothing for you to do.
• Separately rented linens: return within 24 hours of your event end time. Return bags are provided — shake off any food debris, floral remains, or confetti before bagging and you're good to go.

Please communicate your preferred return day at booking so we have time to clean everything before the next event.

Just give us a call at (248) 216-7089 or email booking@aetentandevent.com and we'll do our best to work something out. The sooner you let us know, the better.

We'll inspect all returned linens within 48 hours and reach out within 72 hours if anything needs to be addressed. Charges are billed to the card on file. Standard linens are $60.00 per item; specialty fabrics (sequin, velvet, charmeuse, lace, metallic) are billed at 4x the rental rate.

Specialty fabrics include sequin overlays, velvet runners or tablecloths, charmeuse/satin, lace overlays, and metallic/shimmer fabrics. They're beautiful but delicate, which is why they carry a higher replacement rate.
